Earth Twin?
-
I saw on the news last night that scientists have discovered a solar system that is similar to ours. The system is centred around the star Cancri, which is in the constellation of Cancer. It would seem that a gaseous planet about the same size and composition as Jupiter is orbiting Cancri at the same distance from it as Jupiter is from our Sun. Apparently within ten years we will be able to tell if there are any other planets in this solar system and more importantly, if there is an Earth twin orbiting Cancri in the "habitable zone" that could be able to sustain human life. At about 44 light years away I don't know how we'd get to it even if it is there! Derek Lakin. I wish I was what I thought I was when I wished I was what I am. Salamander Software Ltd.

Read all about it Derek Lakin wrote: At about 44 light years away I don't know how we'd get to it even if it is there! We may not be able to get there in the near future, but someone someday may. and besides, it's likely that that is not the only one. just the first of many. We now know of over 100 planets outside of the Solar System Paresh Solanki Never hit a man with glasses. Hit him with a baseball bat.
